HIST 3212 - Gunpowder Empires: Ottomans, Safavids and Mughals (3 cr.)



Description
After the fall of the Mamluk Sultans of Cairo, the balance of power in West Asia shifted east, and Safavid Iran found itself squeezed between the two most powerful and wealthiest Muslim dynasties in history: the Ottomans and the Mughals. In the age of gunpowder, these empires competed among one another, but it was the rising threat of Europe that spelled danger for them all.
